Separator - An ionic permeable electronically nonconductive spacer or material which prevents electronic contact between electrodes of opposite polarity in the same cell.
Series - The interconnection of cells in such a manner that the positive terminal of the first is connected to the negative terminal of the second, and so on, resulting in increased voltage.
Limiting Current - The maximum current drain under which the particular battery will perform adequately under a continuous drain. The rate is based on whatever drain rate reduces the running voltage to 1.1 volts.
Spiral Wound - An electrode structure of high surface area created by winding the electrodes and separator into a spiral-wound, jelly-roll configuration.
Absorption - The taking up or retention of one material by another by chemical or molecular action.
Wall-less Design - A battery design where the structural support for the cells is formed by an open plastic framework.
Cathode - The electrode in an electrochemical cell where reduction takes place. During discharge, the positive electrode of the cell is the cathode. During charge in a rechargeable battery, the negative electrode is the cathode.
